Some families to be priced out of ObamaCare

Some families could get priced out of health insurance due to what’s being called a glitch in President Barack Obama’s overhaul law. IRS regulations issued Wednesday failed to fix the problem as liberal backers of the president’s plan had hoped.

As a result, some families that can’t afford the employer coverage that they are offered on the job will not be able to get financial assistance from the government to buy private health insurance on their own. How many people will be affected is unclear.

The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law. Officials said the administration tried to mitigate the impact. Families that can’t get coverage because of the glitch will not face a tax penalty for remaining uninsured, the IRS rules said.

“This is a very significant problem, and we have urged that it be fixed,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, an advocacy group that supported the overhaul from its early days.

Wonder if these families who live in the states who aren’t going to have bhocare will be able to get insurance? And what will the irs do to the people in states who don’t use bhocare handle the tax penalty? This is going the the worse thing we have had in the US since bho was first elected!

Marx hated the working class, the middle class, the upper class, Jews, Christians… just about everybody. It’s a philosophy built on hate and discord. They don’t even hide it all that well either, and that includes Obama… “bitter clingers,” “vote for revenge.”

The working poor, to Marx, Lenin, and Obama are useful idiots meant to be manipulated into passage of leftist governance, and then dismissed once the power has been sufficiently redistributed to the right set of thugs and cronies. Obamacare is indeed right in form here.

My daughter is priced out of health insurance… In fact there are no companies that offer health insurance at all. Thanks to Obamacare. I have some medical care package BS that actually increases our out of pocket for all her general medical care. Instead of paying between $80 and $150 for a visit we pay between 300 and 400 a visit and have to pay the monthly fee for the insurance. Thanks for the help OBAMA!

Insurance coverage for my family of five would be $300/wk. PER WEEK. And that’s through my EMPLOYER.

Needless to say, we’re paying out of pocket. All the gobbledygook about pre-existing conditions and preventive care doesn’t matter a hill of beans if it’s cheaper for me to pay out of pocket than to buy insurance – the original idea of which was to guard AGAINST excessive expense – and then have to pay thousands of dollars worth of deductibles at 100% before payments kick in anyway.

OH WAIT, I’m not allowed to pay for my medical care out of pocket because the government requires me to contribute my FAIR SHARE to everybody else’s needlessly bloated insurance premiums.

Why pay the Bill with the insurance then? Just pay cash basis and save the insurance for big stuff.

I appreciate…
But I am a disabled veteran, also known as a pre existing condition. I cannot get insurance for myself, and they do not offer any insurance for individual children without an adult on the insurance.

All the talk about caring for people is pretty much just that coming from the Democrats and for the most part all the Republicans we have in office. They would rather do something for the poster children, who inevitably ends up harming those poster children, rather than allow the system to work as it should naturally.

We did it for the children!
But now children are without insurance!
But we did it FOR the children.
The children and everyone else is worse off!
So what, it is not like it matter now, does it!?!
